Whatever the motivation, I suspect it is too little, too late. They broke the 'DAZ has announced a new figure! We must all march over there and get it NOW! Toss the Old! Embrace The New!!!' habit they had spent so many years insinuating into the Poserverse. And though they never thought about it for a second, the consequences of 'showing the Poser makers/owners' by -only- sticking with P4 level tech has truly bitten them on the ass......because with no new v-thing to muddy the waters, others have stepped in and =used= the new tools. And the tools that have been added over the years. It has made the the newest Poser seem even more of an upgrade than it already is. And with the projects underway, people are being presented with the chance to use -all- their old figures in acceptable fashions; not being expected to toss it aside and buy the same things over yet again.
